** Welcome!!! **
This wiki has been developed for the specific purpose of supporting one another in our quest to create the best classroom opportunities for our students. The hope is that our ideas, thoughts, and reflections about what students do in our classrooms can benefit other classrooms. The good, the bad, and the ugly.... we can learn from it all!

Alan November says this in his book __Empowering Students with Technology__: "However, adding technology to the classroom is the easy part. The difficult work is reshaping the relationship between teachers and students. The real revolution in learning is not about adding technology on top of the current structure of schooling. Instead, the real revolution is about a transformational shift of control from the school system to the learner. Teachers are faced with the historic opportunity of teaching students to know what to do with their power to access unlimited amounts of information and to extend their relationships to learning. We are embarking on a journey where the traditional boundaries of schooling are likely to be challenged and redesigned. If we are up to the task, many more students will be empowered to see learning as an adventure."

My role in this process is not as an evaluator but rather a fellow teacher who can support you in the journey. I don't have all the answers or even all the right questions but am willing to help and work with you to create learning opportunities for students that excite them and entangle them in the messiness of learning.

Looking forward to an exciting journey! Lesli
